Spider Solitaire

[hammerman]

Sorry this is not a high tech gaming question but it refers to the scoring of the computer card game spider solitaire.

Now im not particularly good at it so only use the beginners level but i always keep an eye on my high scores.

yesterday, i completed it in 93 moves, scoring 1207 points.

just now, i scored 1275 points.....but didn't look at how many moves i'd taken. How did i get to that score, do you get a bonus or something ? It would've meant i completed it in 25 moves !!!!!!!

Any suggestions

according to their scoring bumph :

You begin each game of Spider Solitaire with 500 points. You can increase or decrease your score based on these rules:

Each time you move a card, you lose one point.
Each time you click the Game menu, and then click Undo, you lose one point.
Each time you line up an entire suit in order from king to ace, the suit is removed from the playing area, and you get 100 points

yeah i looked into all that. If i complete the game in 110 moves, i get 1190 points. 104 moves = 1196, 100 moves = 1200, 97 moves =1203.

I usually get around these scores. I just don't understand why i got a massive 1275 points !!!!

I must admit I gave up trying to work out their scoring gizmo some time ago, I just go on number of moves :-)
Mr Alba and I play the middle one, so far we've tied on 111 moves but we never checked the scores!!!
It's addictive.

I usually play the hardest one what I need to know is ever starting point playable to a 'win' like freecell (I've only managed it three times in about two years)

Freecell Game 11982 is impossible!
